3 key takeaways from Daniel John include:

  • Near-death experiences help us understand what is on the other side. It's natural to be critical, but we need to open ourselves up to other viewpoints. Being uncomfortable as you explore a viewpoint can be a good thing.
  • There is something more than this life. Once we realize this, it changes our perspective. We begin to enjoy others, and want to treat them equally as this is just a step along our spiritual journey.
  • When we can connect with our loved ones that have passed, we experience healing and love. This can be essential when processing grief and moving through it.

We were in a restaurant in the middle of Boston and she just came up to me and she said, Thank you. I've been waiting for this. Now her, it turns out her husband passed away instantly and suddenly right in front of her after 30 years, and they never got to say goodbye. And this was their goodbye. And I was the middle medium in between, between her husband wherever he is, and her. And the point is, and the beautiful thing is she experienced love healing, and was able to live a better life because of that experience. And I always tell people, I had nothing to do with me, I was just the medium the in between.

Daniels here on earth with direction from the Holy Spirit to spread God's unconditional love to all welcome, Daniel. 

02:13 

Thank you for having me, Teresa.

02:15 

It's a pleasure. And I'll tell you, the first thing I thought about is, a lot of times I say to people that I'm on a mission from God, just like the Blues Brothers. So when I read that, I'm like, dude, says Daniel, he's on a mission from God to? I know, right? So the first thing I like to ask all my guests, Daniel is what is enthusiastic about being a medium? And what brings you that enthusiasm for what you do? 

02:38 

Yeah, it's a great question. So in the 1000s, of sessions, I perform 99.9% result in some sort of increase faith in something a lot of us call God or the universe or love. Increased Energy for Life in their purpose, believing in the afterlife, and believing that there is something more after this. And what that allows people to do is live their lives at a higher level at a higher vibration, to serve more and to have a better life and be a better person. So the results of all the sessions I've done up to this point, allow me to have that fire and energy to continue to do this does amazing work, which I think a lot of people have the ability to do, but to be able to see it firsthand. That just keeps me going because I love helping people. 

03:27 

I agree with 

03:27 

you. I do feel that a lot. I mean, anyone can do this. But it has to be like a calling. If this is your service, it's not everyone's service. So I would like you to share what's unique about you being a medium because there are a lot of people that are mediums out in the world and different variations. 

03:43 

Yeah, I think it's important to define medium, right? A medium is just an in between, it's a halfway point between two extremes. Right? In the spiritual world, the medium is to someone who connects a spiritual world, to the human world, right? unique about me, I think we all have our own special gifts. And I think that's what's beautiful about the world. There's a lot of really good mediums and energy workers out there. For me, what's kind of unique is that I was born into a Catholic household that was Catholic grade school. And then I was a big part of, of a Christian youth group from all through high school I taught Catholicism and, and college. And then the whole medium ship came and there was a window of time where I kind of was a little resentful at the church, and even even the by the Bible and certain religions, and then God, like turn that around and merged both of my, like the first part of my life and then this latter part, and now there's this beautiful tapestry of what I would say in human words of a combination between spirituality and religion. And I'm a Bible teacher, and you know, there's not many mediums who are Bible teachers. I think again, it matters what the word medium is, and I'm a big fan of, of of Yeshua, which is Jesus, but I'm also a Christian who supports other religions

whether you're Buddhist Hindu, atheist, agnostic, Satanist, I know that's even a religion. I have a couple of friends Believe it or not, it's a crazy word to think about. But I have such a diverse group of friends and accept that everyone is allowed to have their own beliefs and experiences. And I support that. So I think the uniqueness falls within the medium ship, and the Christianity, and then in the Christianity, acceptance of other religions and other faiths. 

05:17 

That's lovely. And the fact that, um, that uniqueness is going to bring your apprentices to you. So some other people are, you know, are mediums in different ways. And so that's, that's beautiful. That's I love it. Dana. Daniel. Thank you. I want to talk a bit about near death experiences, because that seems to be a really hot topic that's been around for at last couple of maybe the last decade or two or so that it's everywhere. It's very prevalent. So what is your take on why is it so prevalent right now that all these people are sharing about near death experiences? And it's just people want to know more and more about it? 

05:51 

Yeah, it's a great question. I think it's more prevalent, because people are becoming more comfortable talking about it. And the reason they're becoming more comfortable is for people like like Raymond Moody, and Jeffrey Long, who are bringing it to the public. I mean, there's, there's websites, there's, and I think in certain cultures, even here in the West, some people feel uncomfortable talking about it, because of certain dogmas and stigmas and things like that. So I think a large part of the dynamic explosion, for lack of a better word of all these people are coming out and said they've had these experiences, the majority is because now there's a platform and a venue for them to share it. And then the second part is because of social media, and we're in the information age, sharing stories like that with an innate nature that we all have to help other people. I think that if someone has something positive or even negative, to share that would help someone else. I think we have the platform and the information age to share that. And I've done I've read, I think almost every book there is out there about near death experiences. And at first, being a left brain skeptic, I was like, these are just, you know, deep DMT type of trips, you know, but then what I do is I always test the heart. And I watch people and tune into them. And I really do feel like many of these millions of people who have reported to have near death experiences are speaking their truth. And if that is true, which I do feel there's a lot of commonalities which I cover in my second book, and even a little bit, my first about Andy's near death experiences. So I hope it continues to grow. Because I think it's nice to be able to be more comfortable about talking about things that may make us uncomfortable because of different beliefs and in faith and things like that. 

07:31 

What comes me to is that right now, I feel we're at a time where obviously there's a lot more energy, there's a lot more work, I'm going a different, you know, wavelength of, of collective consciousness. And so there's also a lot of people right now, exiting and leaving the planet. So having that belief and have and that understanding that there is something besides here, you know, whether you like to believe in God, believe in the universe source, whatever it looks like, and that, you know, as a soul, we never die.

07:59 

Yeah. And that kind of answers your first question to when people understand that there's something more. And it's almost proved, you know, for lack of a better word, it's not proved but that there is something more, you know, anecdotally proved, it changes our perspective and real, it helps us realize that we can maximize our time while we're here. And then there is something and it continues. That's why I put the Ferris wheel on my second book is just, it just goes and goes eternal life, right? What Yeshua taught. And when we recognize that, I think, in this reality, we can just do the best we can to enjoy and treat others, respectfully and equally. And there's so much more to offer, when we do realize there's something more than just this, this isn't the end, it's just a trip or a step along the way. 

08:45 

Right. It's just it is one existence. And then there's another one and then another one or whatever you believe in, right, Daniel? 

08:50 

Yeah, yeah. I mean, I try not to push my beliefs on other people. Well, a lot of near death experiences, I think 80 something percent, or even more, I think is in the high 80s believe in going somewhere else after? I think it was almost 90%. So and that's million. You know, I think Jeffrey long study I think at 3000 people, but yeah, I really do believe in my own perspective that there is something more something greater, something more beautiful than we can even, you know, we try and call it God. But it's something greater than we can even imagine, in my opinion. 

09:21 

So share with me how you came to this beautiful gift, because I call it a gift. So 

09:25 

yeah, I agree with you. 100%. I think it's a gift. I went to another medium one time and they said it was not. I respectfully disagreed. But I do think it's a gift. I think we all have gifts. I think what we call God or the universe, blesses us and grants us with certain gifts that we can use to help other people. Long story short, when I was 37, I was at a restaurant and sat next to a woman and I started getting these impressions. And I call them impressions because you know, spirit doesn't communicate like you and I communicate. It was symbols and letters and names and numbers and they were anniversaries and our kids names and all this stuff and I didn't know where it came from. It's definitely psychic information right? psychic is just obtaining information without any scientific understanding. So it just was coming to me. And I was telling her, and it was all validated, it was all spot on, and it helped her. And we realized over a period of time, at least we think to this day, it was her husband who had passed six months earlier. He was talking about current events in the house and the kids and, and Alec, as you know, as your

daughter going to college, like, yes, you know, and it was all coming from somewhere. To this day, I still don't know where. And at the end of that night, she were in a restaurant in the middle of Boston, and she just came up to me and she said, Thank you. I've been waiting for this. Now her, it turns out, her husband passed away instantly and suddenly right in front of her after 30 years, and they never got to say goodbye. And this was their goodbye. And I was the middle medium in between, between her husband wherever he is, and her. And the point is, and the beautiful thing is she experienced love healing, and was able to live a better life because of that experience. And I always tell people, I had nothing to do with me, I was just the medium the in between. It had to do with her husband wherever he is, and her and it provided her so much healing and faith. And, you know, we even talked to this day, and from that moment on, my life changed. That was the moment where it changed. 

11:10 

I can see that why that is because that's profound. And well I 

11:14 

questioned myself, like, Did I make it up that I that I pull it out of her mind and be like I went through all these things. And I've realized over time that we don't die, in my opinion, and we exist some way somehow. And information can be communicated from wherever mansion they're in to ours to help us. Right? It's to me, it's the same way we have a Bible. You know, when Paul scripted the scriptures in Galatians, 111, we're not I won't go down that road, I promise myself. But he said that what I share with you comes from spirit or the Holy Spirit doesn't come from man doesn't come from me. So Paul was like a medium. I hope no offend anyone. But he was just an in between between what we call God and humans, and provided some really valuable information. I don't think it's any different. Now I think we all have that ability. So from that point on, my whole life just changed actually went for a year and a half of just absorbing and studying. Like literally reading hundreds of books on mediumship, near death experiences theology, Christianity, religion, I reread the Bible. Yeah. And so here we are, you know, six years later, 

12:12 

you were literally Daniel onibus. From God. Hello. Yeah, big time. So it's not I mean, all these synchronicities that happen in life, there's no, it's not uncanny that I'm interviewing you this week. And so this week, I found out that one of my friends died. And I didn't know she died December 16. So that we might have been like, over three weeks ago. And I kept having impressions. I kept picking up I need to call Michelle, I need to call her. And I mean, like days, right? Then I'm on Facebook, and I see her, my friend put a picture of her and like an old one, because I knew her when I was in the Air Force back in my late teens. I was like, Oh, what a great picture. I looked down, I started seeing that, oh, she passed on. I'm like, what? So like, she kept coming to me this whole week. And I'm got chills, I'm saying this, because her funeral Saturday. So like, within three days, I'm like, I need to go to the funeral. Like she wanted me to come to the funeral. So I can, you know, talk to her husband and people that were there. And I'm in. So I want to I guess I'm telling this Daniels because about trust. Like when you when you got this information for that lady, it's all about trust, what we're picking up,

13:16 

you're 100%, right. And you know, your friend, and I believe it's true, he reached out to you. And then you go there tonight. And you maybe share and have a couple experiences that help other people and yourself. And that's how I think God or the spirit world can help us. And it is about trust. You know, I teach the class with students on how to do this ethically. You know, I think God brought me a really high vibration group of people who've gone through their own tragedies. That's why I do the show now tragedy, a triumph. And they found that when their loved one passed, their gifts opened up. And they're some of these, these people have amazing gifts, a lot of them are actually Christians. So they've gone through the struggle that I went through, so they kind of are gravitating to me, and I help them embrace their gift that God gave them and help other people. So and I tell them, it comes down to trust. You know, I have two sessions tonight. And even going into it, I'm like, Alright, spirit, you know, show up, and I gotta trust that it's going to happen. And once you have the trust that when you get these feelings or these impressions, they come from somewhere, you can call it God, the Holy Spirit, your loved ones. I think in the spirit world, we don't have the separation we do here. But whatever that information is, we can be the channel like you or I, and we can pass it on being the medium the in between. And we can really help a lot of people. I think if we open our minds and hearts to that. There's a lot of good work and positive things that can come from that in this world. 

14:34 

I agree. And it's those, what I call hunches, insights and impressions that come in. So a while back, I guess it was early in December. I've had a couple people pass recently, my husband's father passed away and so in a meditation both him and I saw that he was in heaven. He was with God he was Catholic. So um, and I saw I was able to pass on this message to some of our 

family members that are still very Catholic. And, you know, we're questioning was he purgatory is he in heaven. And I was like, straight up, hey, you know, Tom and I both saw him. He's in heaven. And the relief Daniel was like, and I got chills I say this, it was like profound, how much just sharing that and knowing that I believe totally that he's in what you know, some call heaven, I'd call you know, back to source back to God universe, whatever. But just that ability to trust in what we're picking up. And then like you said, just sharing it. It's, it is so healing. 

15:29 

I think it's divine, it is completely, man. And I always tell people, you know, like, I teach my students this, I've had 40 plus students over the last three years, this curriculum, it's right here, this curriculum just came to me and I just wrote it all down. And, you know, I teach them that you're just, you know, and I know, you know, this too, but we're just the meat. We're just the messengers were the conduits were the in between all that glory goes to, you know, what we call God or something greater. And I'll share a really quick story, okay, I was in the short version. I was in a restaurant, I got the bill was 16 $16. And God said to me, Your Spirit said to me, you know, First John 424 says, God is spirit, right? So I just say, Spirit said to me, give her 100 bucks. Now, I had been laid off from my pharmaceutical job, I was really struggling three kids, you know, no job, no car. But God said, spirits, I gave her 100 bucks. And I questioned it, right, which we should not do. And then he said back to me, if she has one daughter and one

son, with his children, then you give her 100. I said, Okay, that's fair enough. What are the chances that she has two kids? One boy, one girl. So she comes over the table? And I say, do you mind if I ask you a question? She says, No. I said, Do you have children? She says, yes. No, she looked young. I thought I was I thought I was good. Because she looked down. No way. She has kids. She just said, Do I go? Do you have two children by chance? And she's like, Yes, I do. And I'm like, is one of them a boy and one of my girl, she goes, alright, you're starting to freak me out. And I was like, here's 100 bucks. And she goes, I can't take that I said, you have to God said so. And she just started crying. And she went on the story about how she really needed it at that moment. And so I always tell people, anyone can be a medium or channel of God. And if we don't, I think it's really beneficial to listen to it or him or whoever it may be, I think I think we're unable to understand really who or what it is, we can, we can deduct it, it was the lady's husband, or maybe the Holy Spirit at the restaurant. But I think if we listen, we can see some magic. And she shared with me that she really needed and she was going through struggles, and that like made her weak, just that little, just that little tip, which you know, I was still financially security without a job. So what I tell people as being a medium has nothing to do with talking to dead people, or it's not demonic or some sinful thing. I think we all can be conduits or instruments of God, or, or a middleman, between a woman between God or spirit and humans, and some miraculously beautiful things can happen. 

17:45 

Without a doubt, just like that story. Yeah. And so I know for a while there are people that are scared, even like, like, my mom's very open to spirit and energy, and she has all kinds of experiences, but she still has fear. And so I'm like, and there's nothing I can do about that for her as well as any other person because they have to be okay with receiving messages or, you know, having insights come in just like this week with my friend coming to me. It wasn't till a couple days later as like, Oh, Michelle is coming to me and she passed away. And, you know, it's like putting those insights impressions and hunches into like, okay, that's what it was all about and less like you would you get like a clear message and need to share that. Thanks for listening to another episode of enthusiastically spiritual and a big thanks for Daniel for coming on today, sharing about his mediumship working with God, working with near death experiences and helping people move out of fear and into love.
